Talking duals

ive got a '90 f-150 5.0 and true duals dumped under the bed, had it for like a year and now everything and anything is starting to rattle and its driving me nuts, what if i exit the pipe out both sides infront of the back tires...would it still sound good, maybe better? im thinking of doing this soon, b/c if i dont somthing might fall off also do u think that the cab would still rattle?

Do you still have that nasty catalytic converter? I lopped mine off and the rattling is from some extra pipes that were used for some sonsors or something. A few things don't work, like the cruise control, but it drives and sounds much better

You might have a similar problem.

hmm, could be. could also have died before I added the duals when it was running really bad due to the crumbled cat.

well, no, personally I haven't done anything to it besides the spray-on bedliner and duals. It came with tinted windows, an h-bar, and some healthy tires.

cheap rims, dunno, maybe ebay? don't know about the sensors

nd4spd, I don't think me or my truck's for racing, I have trouble shifting in heavy traffic.. lol. plus, it's not that fast, i think the gears are too low or something It can accelerate like a ****, and tow a semi out of a ditch, but that's about it.

oh, just click on the setting button at the top of the page, then on 'edit gallery' and on 'new gallery'. that should walk you through how to add pictures. haven't done it yet myself, because my truck's in the garage (I'm on Christmas break) and haven't taken it out for a while, and am too lazy to take it out to make some pics.

hope to see it.
